FrankenWashie's Second PBG Build, SV-1

[FrankenWashie]

A question for the assembled luminaries, when you are finishing a neck, do the same rules about sanding finish apply as per the body blanks? Sand to 300-400 max and then treat or can you go smoother? I have gone to 400 and its coming up very nicely, i was of a mind to run it up to 1200 or higher to see what sort of a polish it can get less stinky chemicals.

Has anyone tried this?

I like more of a satin finish on a neck, so I sand to 1200, then a couple of light coats of Tru-oil. On the Telemaster build I did a light stain before the two/three coats of tru-oil. After the tru-oil cures I go back with 1200 to clear any "wipe" marks, then do a light rub back with 2000 to give it that silky feel.
